Quick Relief Chicken Soup

June 15, 2015 By Tekesha 9 Comments

quick relief chicken soup

A couple of weeks ago, I was incredibly sick. My throat felt like sandpaper and I could barely breathe out of my nose. I despise being sick and I was desperate for some relief. This soup was awesome. The butter, egg and cheese make sure this coats your whole mouth and throat. The cream helps fill you up when it’s impossible to keep heavier foods down. Alternate between bowls of this and whiskey with honey and lemon and you will be back on your feet in no time!

Add the cooked chicken, heavy cream and tomatoes to the pot and let simmer for 5 minutes. You want to marry all the flavors in the pot for a little bit before you dilute the mixture with stock.

Slowly drizzle in the egg mixture while stirring the soup. I learned this from Giada’s Italian Wedding Soup recipe. It adds a nice thickness to any soup.

    Tekesha, this looks fabulous! I didn’t even have breakfast yet, and now I’m craving this soup. I love the trick about adding egg for a thicker texture. I hope you are feeling better now!
